4.4

Medium

VectorAV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description: The issue is related to a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Linux kernel's qedf component. It occurs when a count-sized kernel buffer is allocated and count is copied from userspace to that buffer without ensuring the string is terminated inside the buffer. This can lead to an out-of-bounds (OOB) read when using the kstrtouint function. The vulnerability can be exploited to cause a denial of service.
Recommendations: At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
